Again, I focus on Latino issues and even then cannot claim to be accurate
for
some populations. I would like to hear from a Native American "Dine"
perspective. A native told (corrected) me that "Indian" is not an accurate
term as it was given by someone who never knew where he landed. Perhaps
there
are other self-identities. Can anyone present this perspective?

Reference to Joyce Harris questions to the EdEquity Audience
Can anyone speak to this issue from the perspective of other immigrant
groups?

Referencing Marta Cruz-Janzen message that start with this paragraph.
We are going to find that what makes this issue so complex is that each
group of immigrants and each subgroup within each immigrant group is not
going to be the same.
